Certified Nutrition Specialist, National Board Certified Health Coach
In 2016 I was diagnosed with autoimmune arthritis. After years of pain, it was good to finally have an answer to what was happening in my body. I was introduced to the Auto Immune Protocol by a friend and I immediately started eliminating problematic foods from my diet. In a week, there was a marked difference. By month 6, I was back to my active self I’d been in high school. My pain levels have been reduced by 85%; I am glad to share what I’ve learned in this journey with you.
Holistic Nutritionist, Certified Nutrition Therapy Practitioner, Personal Trainer
Hi, I'm Jaci Salley, a Holistic Nutritionist and Personal Trainer dedicated to helping you achieve balance through whole, natural foods and exercise. My journey in holistic nutrition and wellness coaching has fueled my passion for empowering others to take charge of their health.
I believe in a holistic approach to well-being, blending proper nutrition with exercise to foster a healthy, balanced lifestyle. My coaching emphasizes the importance of adding beneficial habits while gently replacing less healthy ones, focusing on food, fitness, relationships, careers, and spirituality.
My core philosophy centers around the idea that fresh, local, organic, and GMO-free foods are essential for optimal nutrition and wellness. I aim to educate you on how balancing carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, and minerals can keep your body functioning at its best.
On a personal note, I love exploring farmer’s markets, spending quality time with loved ones, and staying active. I make it a point to incorporate some form of exercise into each day, whether it's beach volleyball, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), strength training, hiking, or cardio. Creating fresh meals with local, organic ingredients is a true joy for me.
I work with women who want to lose weight through detoxing, balancing hormones, improving GI systems – all by and switching to whole-foods, proper supplementation, and daily habit changes.
I will be working DIRECTLY with YOU, one-to-one, in our sessions, emphasizing that everything you’re experiencing is synergistically connected in an individual package that is entirely UNIQUELY YOU. This concept is often referred to as your ‘biochemical individuality,’ and the word ‘HOLISTIC’ (holism) emerged from this concept. You’re not just your weight, your thyroid problem, or your digestive complications as insinuated by conventional medicine. No, your WHOLE body is symbiotically connected – what happens in one area of your body WILL ultimately affect everything else. Thus, through the practice of Nutritional Therapy, I will encourage you to revisit the WHOLE, beautifully painted picture that is YOU. Namely, I’m going to empower YOU with the tools needed to understand and become ‘in tune’ to your own body using clean, whole foods, healthy exercise, and a balanced lifestyle so that you too can RISE and THRIVE, daily.

Developers Nathan Manilow, Carroll F. Sweet, and Philip M. Klutznick held a press conference in the Palmer House Hilton in Chicago on October 28, 1946, to announce the planned development of a new self-governing community in Chicago's south suburbs. This project, soon to be referred to as Park Forest, was to be developed by American Community Builders (ACB). The village of Park Forest was partly designed by town planner Elbert Peets in the tradition of planned communities around the nation to provide housing for veterans returning from World War II.
Park Forest was honored in 1954 as an "All-America City" for its citizens' help in the creation of Rich Township High School, on Sauk Trail. It was awarded this same honor again in 1976 for open housing and racial integration and initiatives. A village landmark was the Park Forest Plaza, an outdoor regional shopping center of over 50 stores and restaurants which included Sears, Marshall Fields, and Goldblatt's.
